Winged Sandals

Zaha Hadid Channels the Messenger God in the Vivienne Westwood Rocking Shoes

Embrace the goddess in you (or, more accurately, god) with the latest Vivienne Westwood Rocking Shoes. Designed by Melissa Plastic Dreams and part of the Red Label Show, this Hermes-inspired sandal is sure to bring out the messenger in anyone (I mean, if you’re a girl).

Available as early as November, these Vivienne Westwood Rocking Shoes are a tamer reinterpretation of her original Rocking Shoes. Although the ankle wings are cute, it’s all about the heel. Actually, as Stylebubble puts it, “if you don’t happen to feel like channeling Hermes,” they just happen to be detachable.
